USB-C Superdrive External DVD/CD Reader and DVD/CD Burner for Apple-MacBook Air/Pro/iMac/Mini/MacBook Pro/ASUS/ASUS/DELL Latitude with USB-C Port Plug and Play(Silver)

Works well and plays well. I missed grabbing a CD or DVD and enjoying a recording. I purchased this player because it came with a USB-C connector. The connection was flawless and required no set up. The price point was perfect and the design is very clean matches the satin finish of my Mac.

Did not work with my Mac Mini. After plugging into USB-C port, it would start to run, I would insert an audio CD, it would pull up the menu and ask if I wanted to download it. I would click yes, it would show the first track downloading, but would stop spinning the CD, after a minute or two, it would give me an error message saying the download could not be completed. Then the whole unit would vanish from the list of devices, as if the power was off. I tried several times, even tried re-booting my system as recommended by the manufacturer, but nothing changed. Even tried just playing the CD, that did not work either. Unlike other's experience, I was able to get my CD to eject, after unplugging, then plugging back into the port and essentially re-activating the power. Returned this unit and ordered an Asus, which worked from the first plug-in with no issues, confirming the problem was this unit, not my system. Do not waste your money on this one, spend the extra $5-10 on a name brand unit.

Good machine does the job I would buy again.

Build quality and functionality are as outlined. The size wasn’t bad either very easy and portable. Good bang for your buck, the speed of the reader was pretty good as well. I did experience some inconsistencies with it picking up on the new CD RS that I entered into the device. Overall ease of use and readability were good.

THIS VERY LOW PRICED DVD PLAYER WORKS EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS THOSE COSTING TWO OR THREE TIMES AS MUCH.

Took it out of the box. Plugged it after watching a few videos on setting it up. First thing, it made this clanging and vibrating sound like it was grinding at something and like there was a flat tire inside the device. After about 30 seconds or so it stopped. I tried to insert a DVD it would not receive it. I unplugged it again, and then re-plugged it in and it gave me the same noise. I also tried inserting the disc, and nothing happened. finally, I did it one more time but this time I tried to insert the DVD since it wasn’t registering I thought that having a disc in it would make it register. It did accept the DVD. The sound didn’t intensify, but didn’t get a whole lot better initially but it did finally settle down to a grinding sound. It wasn’t near as loud. The computer did not recognize that there was a DVD player or even a DVD or anything and it just quit and now I really can’t get it to do anything. The DVD is stuck in the device and I can’t get it out as well.

Compatible Mac.

The media could not be loaded. I saw that my review was requested and I found that super creepy and funny bc I literally just started using it today. I didn't forget that it existed but I could not get the motivation to start watching my show again, Terminator bc it takes more work I guess to get everything all set up rather than going on to a streaming service or YouTube. When u first get it up and ready there's something saying u can pay to update and u just exit, it's useless lol. Took me a few mins to figure out where everything is bc I need subtitles and u want to make sure the volume is all the way up. But I pretty much love it. It's a little confusing when u first put the disc in. U search in files and there seem like 20 options (all disc icon I think). I was trying to restart Season 2 or restart halfway in season 2 I guess since I remember most of it but I didn't want to be clueless and start where I was months ago before they took it off prime or whatever. It doesn't work perfectly but it does the job and I greatly appreciate it. And it's not super expensive. There seem to be so many extra buttons that don't do anything for whatever reason or they're just useless for me in particular. Maybe it's meant to be compatible with other types of laptops and features and systems, but they're not nuisances, I just ignore almost everything. I like it. I will almost never give 4-5 stars tho, nothing is perfect, that's not possible
